Chapter 328 Chapter 327

Wei Guangde didn't know if there was any trouble in the Zhenwu Camp in Nanjing in history. He just looked at the soldiers when he entered the city and intuition told him that those people were inappropriate.

Well, now it has attracted the attention of my father-in-law, and it is always good to prevent the problem from happening.

"You don't know that tomorrow's 20th is when the Zhenwu Camp is gathering to train according to regulations. I haven't remembered this yet. I didn't realize that the Ministry of War had sent military pay to the Zhenwu Camp. I'm afraid that if the soldiers can't continue tomorrow, they will really have to be on guard."

Xu Pengju frowned and thoughtfully asked.

"Sir Taishan shouldn't have given that Huang Maoguan, and Fang Youshan, who is in charge of the treasurer, say that he will send the military pay, and he will naturally be safe when he practices tomorrow."

Wei Guangde's strange way.

"Hey, who knows what they are pretending to be in the gang of masters? Let's talk about it. Others are afraid that we will be disgusted."

Xu Pengju shook his head, "No matter who he is, I will summon my subordinates first and do some responses."

Wei Guangde spent dinner at the Duke of Wei before returning to his yard where he lived, which was not far from the Duke of Wei's Mansion.

However, after entering the gate, Wei Guangde ordered Zhao Hu behind him, "Uncle Zhao, go and Liu Shouyou, and others say, don't go out tomorrow, guard the gate of the inn."

Wei Guangde pretended not to care in front of Duke Wei Xu Pengju, but whenever he thought of the idle soldiers he saw on the street today, he felt extremely uneasy.

I'm afraid something really happens.

During the previous banquet, Wei Guangde once again asked Lord Taishan to ask Officer Huang Mao, Fang Youshan and other leaders of the Ministry of War to prepare military salaries for Zhenwu Camp and not force the soldiers below to be too ruthless, but obviously Xu Pengju did not take it seriously.

Halfway through the drinking, he asked his two sons to continue drinking with Wei Guangde, and went back to the backyard to rest first.

On the second day, the flags were waving and war drums were roaring in the small school grounds in Nanjing Chengbei. More than 2,000 soldiers from Zhenwu Camp gathered together. Today is the day when the entire Zhenwu Camp camp gathered and practiced.

Although the soldiers had no intention of practicing because of the lack of pay, they were familiar with the ruthless military law, so they did not dare to delay the training of such major events.

Of course, there is another very important reason, that is, today the entire camp gathered, and many soldiers were still illusioned whether they would pay the military pay that had been owed for half a month today.

Since the Zhenwu Camp established the camp, it has selected the fierce soldiers of the various camps and Huai'an Prefecture. The Yangzhou Prefecture has a total of 3,000 men and sturdy men, with heroes as generals and guards.

However, until now, Zhenwu Camp has never really been on the battlefield, so naturally it spends tens of thousands of taels of silver into it every year, which makes Nanjing's Ministry of Revenue feel that it is at a disadvantage. Moreover, due to the tight supply of food and salary in the northern border towns, the resources that Nanjing Ministry of War can allocate is becoming less and less popular.

Today, the people who came to inspect were the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing, the governor of the throne Huang Maoguan, the eunuch of the garrison He Shou, the governor of the Nanjing garrison Xu Pengju, the governor of the Left Army and the governor of Cao Jiang Linhuai, and Zhang Jiao, the Ministry of War, Li Sui and others had not arrived.

Last year, the color of the broken color was deducted by 20%. The soldiers of Zhenwu Camp were very dissatisfied with Huang Maoguan on the stage. Today, they were full of hope to come to the small school ground, but when they saw that except Huang Maoguan on the stage, they did not want to pay the wages in the owed state, and they couldn't help but talk in a low voice.

As a Jinshi, Huang Maoguan naturally looked down on the performance of Qiu Ba in the audience, let alone wanted to receive military pay from him.

Although he also knew that it would be difficult to owe soldiers to pay such a slaughter, the current reserves of the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue have reached an extremely dangerous level. After the 1 million taels of silver was borrowed by the Beijing Ministry of Revenue, the treasury of the silver in stock would be at its bottom. Second, the Zhenwu Camp has not performed well since its establishment, and of course it was despised.

Look at the soldiers below, there is no military discipline. They are not the same as the gangsters who fight on the streets.

What Huang Maoguan saw on the stage was no different from the facts. After seeing that the government did not send money to repaid military pay, the spirit of the soldiers had long been discharged. Naturally, they did not stand or sit or sit. They gathered together in groups to curse the people on the stage, so who still cared about military discipline?

As for the military leaders who were all big and small in the camp, they were also in a state of anxiety at this time. Even the soldiers could not get the money, so naturally they had no money to get.

Especially last month, Huang Maoguan actually wanted to check the empty salary, and only issued the money by verifying the identity of the soldiers, so that they could not get the empty salary they could earn before, so naturally they were even more dissatisfied with the one on the stage.

However, apart from privately calling him not a human being, they really had no way to vent their anger. They were a dignified third-rank official and civil servant.

Seeing that the soldiers below were unstable, the military leaders were too lazy to care about it. They had no money and were just a careless soldier. Many of them were very active in thinking about whether to transfer out of this fire pit as soon as possible.

Generals of all sizes gathered together to curse, but no one went to the team, let alone meet Huang Maoguan.

Huang Maoguan stood alone on the stage. When he saw the generals and officials of Zhenwu Camp gathered together in the distance, he could not come to see him. His anger continued to accumulate.

He was already considering whether to stop raising military salaries for three months to serve as a warning to others. It was too eye-catching.

Seeing that the soldiers in Zhenwu Camp below were not like generals and soldiers, Huang Maoguan did not feel like soldiers. He turned around and stepped down and rushed directly to the office south of the schoolyard.

This is a large public housing area. The Nanjing Ministry of Revenue manages the distribution of food and wages for various wards in Nanjing Jingying. Naturally, there are offices in both large and small campuses to facilitate the dispatch of military supplies.

He was in a state of fire, so he was naturally spared. Huang Maoguan strode into his public room and asked the clerk to send hot tea.

After a long time of wind blowing on the school reading stand, his grand third-rank official was directly ignored by those Qiu Ba, which made Huang Maoguan feel deeply humiliated.

Once upon a time, military men dared to be so rude to these civil servants.

He made up his mind that the matter was not so simple and the matter was finished. He first deducted the military salary for three months. At this moment, he made up his mind to severely punish these military men. The soldiers of Zhenwu Camp on the small school were stunned at the empty school reading stand.

There are no officials, so why are they still standing here?

But when everyone was at a loss, someone suddenly sobbed, "When will the military pay be paid this month? The youngest at home is still waiting for dinner."

In an instant, a sad atmosphere quickly spread in the hearts of the soldiers in the school grounds. Even though they could not hear clearly what the people there were talking about, they were infected by the atmosphere and felt cold all over.

In fact, most of the military and men here are from families with their families. The soldiers in the Beijing camp are better than local garrisons, which means that they are not as powerful as those in the garrisons below, and they can still get 30% or 40% of the salary.

If you can't get the money back today, how many days can the surplus food at home last?

My wife and children at home are hungry, how can I live this life?

In fact, no military pay was paid at the beginning of the month, and all the soldiers had already tightened their belts and lived a life of living, trying to save food. Thinking about the rice jars at home that were about to come to an end, many soldiers' anger inevitably burst out at this moment.

"When will you pay the salary when you want to find an official?"

Among the soldiers, I don’t know who took the lead and shouted a word, and then more soldiers responded, and everyone started to whine.

"Give pay, pay pay"

"It is natural to pay back debts."

In fact, at this time, the soldiers' dissatisfaction had just arisen and were still accumulating, and everything could still be controlled. As long as the officer in charge came out to scold him, the soldiers' mentality would collapse. However, at this moment, none of the military leaders standing aside stood up.

Several leaders looked at each other for a few times, shook their heads invisibly. Without their permission, the small military heads under them would not have thought about coming forward to control the situation. Everyone stood there motionlessly, observing the development of the situation in the school field.

The generals and officials who led the team empathized with the difficulties of joining the army. They had to support their own wife and concubines, and they were also in trouble now.

Perhaps, if you make a fuss, you can change something. Will it be worse than now? If you don’t, just go through the way and transfer it.

At this time, the leaders and generals were not thinking about suppressing the sergeants in the school field and controlling the development of the situation, but other things.

Although no one spoke, the mutual eyes also meant it all.

One of the generals suddenly took his head and turned around to walk towards the barracks. When his subordinates saw the boss leaving, they naturally followed him, regardless of the soldiers clamoring behind him.

The remaining generals looked at each other, and they all followed suit and left.

When the soldiers started to make trouble, the young generals and officials should go back to the military camp first. Usually, they went to the street to find a teahouse and a tavern to eat and drink, but today they could not leave and had to stay in the camp.

As for what happened in the end, no matter what he was, it was all the blame for the military pay.

It is normal for the soldiers to make trouble, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

In the past, the incident of soldiers raising wages that only occurred in border towns finally broke out in Nanjing, Liudu.

As more and more soldiers remembered their miserable situations, their emotions became excited, and the noise quickly resounded throughout the schoolyard.

The soldiers in Zhenwu Camp have a complex source, some of which are elites from other Jingying and garrison stations, but in fact they are all thorns from each battalion. Those who do not obey discipline will be sent here. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are soldiers.

Many of the remaining soldiers from surrounding garrisons, such as Yangzhou, were actually idle gangsters in local garrisons, but they were greedy for the treatment of the Beijing camp, so they used all their means to get here.

These people have easy changes in their ranks and natures, which is why a large number of noble children left after entering Zhenwu Camp.

Such a team is too difficult to lead.

Most of these people have started their families now. Although their casual habits are still there, they have a family after all. When everyone started to clamor, they were still nervous. However, after a while, they found that the generals not only did not care about them, but instead walked towards the military camp, and many people became bolder.

"It's all the dog officials named Huang who don't give us a way out. Today I will block him at the official office and not pay military salaries today."

Finally, a pissed sergeant shouted loudly, and then the soldiers in the small school yard shouted in unison: "It's not over if the military pay is not paid."

The shouts represent the voices of more than 2,000 people, and the sounds shocked the fields. The generals and officials of Zhenwu Camp who had just entered the military camp heard the shouts, and they stopped unconsciously and turned around and looked towards the small school ground.

The already excited soldiers began to rush to the distant Ministry of Household Office. At first, they were just a small group, but with their leading role, more and more soldiers in the school ground began to move and soon became a large group.

"Second brother, they will go to trouble Mr. Huang like this, so there will be no accident."

Finally, some generals realized something was wrong. Now that the crowd was in a hurry, it was difficult to fight and could not suppress it, but something big was going to happen.

"It's a bit bad, but what can I do? The man surnamed Huang is dragging him down and not paying his salary, so he wants everyone to drink the northwest wind?"

"It's good to have a fuck, so that those who are surnamed Huang will think that our Zhenwu camp are all cowards, and let the soldiers block the gate of the office, which will scare him to death."

Several generals stood in the military camp gate and watched the crowds in the small schoolyard in the distance rushed to the Ministry of Revenue Office, whispering.

It’s not that they are not worried that the soldiers will make a big deal. In the eyes of these generals, these soldiers are at best blocking the gate of the office to curse. Can they still pull out the official whom they are afraid of and beat them up and vent their anger?

After the trouble was almost over, the Huang surnamed sent someone to find them. They went to clean up the mess, took the people back to the military camp, and took back the salary that should be paid this month.

"Go in, drink and wait."

The man who was called the second brother looked at the soldiers of Zhenwu Camp who were leaving and said relaxedly.

The soldiers left the schoolyard, and they were rarely waiting at the gate of the military camp and went to the camp to drink.

At this time, Huang Maoguan was angry. Today he was really angry. He was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Jiajing. Speaking of the officialdom for more than 20 years and becoming a third-rank official in the court, he had never been so angry and was shrugged by a group of Qiu Ba.

The relationship between Beijing is really not very good, otherwise I would not have been transferred to Nanjing. However, in Nanjing, I am always a well-known person. If the incident spreads today, it would not make others laugh.

Thinking of the angry place, the tea in my hand was no longer fragrant and it suddenly hit the ground.

"Danglang"

The teacup hit the ground hard, falling into pieces, and large pieces of debris rolled on the ground.

The door was suddenly pushed open from outside, and a clerk was already standing in front of the door, looking very panicked. As he pushed open the public room door, a noisy sound outside came into the room.

Huang Maoguan was in a depressed mood at this time. He suddenly saw that the clerk had not been circulated outside the door and was even more irritable, and the noise that was in his ears made him even more upset.
